John Beyer – Live a Little Better

John Beyer shares his extraordinary journey from a troubled childhood and struggles with addiction to becoming a successful entrepreneur and devoted parent, offering an inspiring story of perseverance, transformation, and hope. "When you pack up all your personal belongings and move to a new place, you're not just changing locations. You're changing yourself." – John Beyer. John Beyer is the founder and owner of Men on the Move, one of the East Coast's premier moving and self-storage companies. Although John's journey to the top of the moving game has brought him incredible success, the ride up was bumpy. From the dark stairwells of LeFrak City to the Manhattan discos of the 1970s to the dive bars of Long Island and the truck cabs of a man on the move, Beyer's highs and lows have been as extreme as the personality that got him in and out of trouble along the way. John's story is one of a talented kid in an alcoholic household, an alcoholic young adult turned entrepreneur, a recovering addict whose life was saved through Alcoholics Anonymous, and the devoted parent of a child with special needs. Above all, it is a story of perseverance, discernment, and transformation. If you have a child with special needs or have ever struggled with addiction, directly or indirectly, Live a Little Better speaks to you as a peer. John will inspire you to believe in success against the odds, in hope in the face of adversity, and in rising above a broken home. You never know what you can become through a crisis until you have experienced it. No matter your circumstances or mistakes, John's incredible life is proof that you, too, have every chance to live a little better. All proceeds from Live a Little Better book sales go to Spectrum Designs, Long Island, Port Washington, New York.
